Connectors are important components in electronic devices for signal transmission. For example, in the field of ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line), DSLAMs (Digital Subscriber Line Amplitude Modules) provide subscriber line interfaces via connectors to implement connections between subscriber lines and equipment at the office end and thereby accomplish such functions as transmitting/receiving, encoding/decoding, bandwidth multiplexing, and system maintenance and management, etc., of ADSL subscriber lines.

A stereogram of connector interfaces at DSLAM side is shown in FIG. 1. The connector interface in FIG. 1 comprises a connector socket interface and a connector plug interface.

Both the connector socket interface and the connector plug interface comprise metal shell, plastic insulator and contacts. When the connector socket interface is coupled with the connector plug interface, the metal shell and the plastic insulator of the connector socket interface make plugging contact with the metal shell and the plastic insulator of the connector plug interface respectively, so as to implement the connector interface shielding; whereas the metal contacts of the connector socket interface make plugging contact with the metal contacts of the connector plug interface to implement signal transmission.

A stereogram of the connector socket interface is shown in FIG. 2; the front view of the connector socket interface is shown in FIG. 3.

As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, a longitudinal section of the part of the metal shell and the plastic insulator of the connector socket interface to be coupled with the connector plug interface is in isosceles trapezoid shape, and each of the four corners of the trapezoid is rounded respectively, like a inverted “D” shape. The center part of the plastic insulator of the connector socket interface appears as a band-shaped recess, and there are a number of slots evenly arranged on the upper and lower side walls of the recess. There is a metal contact of the connector socket interface in each of the slots, and the spacing between two adjacent contacts is 2.16 mm, i.e., 0.085″. Fastening means are provided correspondingly in the metal shell and the plastic insulator of the connector socket interface, and are located near the centers of the bevel edges of the isosceles trapezoid respectively.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

In the present invention, there are a plurality of band-shaped recesses provided on the insulator of a connector socket interface, and there are a number of slots provided on both the upper and lower side walls of each band-shaped recess, for accommodating the metal contacts of the connector socket interface; there are a plurality of band-shaped protrusions provided on the insulator of a connector plug interface, corresponding to said band-shaped recesses respectively, and there are a number of slots provided on both the upper and lower side walls of each band-shaped protrusion, for accommodating the metal contacts of the connector plug interface.

The plurality of band-shaped recesses on the insulator of the connector socket interface can be arranged in parallel to each other, and the band-shaped recesses may be of equal or non-equal lengths; for example, if there are two band-shaped recesses provided on the insulator of the connector socket interface, the two band-shaped recesses can be of equal or non-equal lengths. If the individual band-shaped recesses are of non-equal lengths, misplugging of the connector interfaces can be effectively prevented. Likewise, the plurality of band-shaped protrusions on the insulator of the connector plug interface are also arranged in parallel, corresponding to the band-shaped recesses respectively, and the length of the band-shaped protrusion corresponds to that of the band-shaped recess respectively. When the band-shaped recesses are of non-equal lengths, they can be arranged symmetrically with reference to the center line of the coupling part of the connector socket interface; likewise, the band-shaped protrusions shall also be arranged symmetrically with reference to the center line of the coupling part of the connector plug interface.

With above configuration, the coupling part of the connector interface according to an embodiment of the present invention is slightly wider than that of a connector interface with the same number of contacts in the prior art; however, the coupling part of the connector interface according to an embodiment of the present invention is much shorter than that of the connector interface in the prior art, so that the longitudinal section area of the coupling part of the connector interface according to an embodiment of the present invention is reduced.

In order to further reduce the longitudinal section area of the coupling part of the connector interface, the longitudinal section of the coupling part of the connector interface is in rectangular shape, i.e., both of the longitudinal sections of the parts of the metal shell and the insulator of the connector socket interface and the metal shell and the insulator of the connector plug interface to be coupled with each other, respectively, are in rectangular shape.

All of the four corners of said rectangle are fillets, and among them, the fillet radiuses of the two fillets corresponding to the diagonal of the rectangle are different, effectively avoiding misplugging of the connector interfaces when coupled.

In the present invention, in order to ensure the connector socket interface be connected with the connector plug interface tightly, fasteners are provided on the connector interface, for example, screws are provided on the connector plug interface, and nuts matching with the screws are provided on the connector socket interface. The screws shall pass through the metal shell and the insulator of the connector plug interface, and, when the connector plug interface is coupled with the connector socket interface, are screwed up to the nuts on the connector socket interface, so that the connector interfaces are connected tightly in the plugging direction.

There are usually two screws; in order to reduce the footprint of the coupling part of the connector interface, said two screws can be provided at the upper and lower sides of the diagonal extension line of the coupling part of the connector plug interface, and the nuts on the connector socket interfaces are arranged at positions corresponding to those of the screws.

To ensure the connector socket interface be connected tightly with the connector plug interface in a direction other than the plugging direction, in the present invention, at least one protrusion is provided between the metal shells of the coupling parts of the connector interfaces; said protrusion can be in semispherical shape and can be provided on the inner wall of the coupling part of metal shell of the connector socket interface; likewise, the protrusion can also be provided on the outer wall of the coupling part of metal shell of the connector plug interface.

To provide further means against misplugging when the connector interfaces are coupled, in the present invention, numerals can be labeled on the insulators of the connector socket interface and of the connector plug interface respectively; for example, numerals can be labeled beside the respective slots on the insulator of the connector socket interface in order of the positions of the metal contacts, and numerals can be labeled beside the respective slots on the insulator of the connector plug interface in order of the positions of the metal contacts, the numerals labeled on the insulator of the connector plug interface should correspond to the numerals labeled on the insulator of the connector socket interface; in this way, when the connector interfaces are coupled, whether the connector interfaces are coupled correctly can be judged by the corresponding numerals on the connector socket interface and the connector plug interface, even without the difference in fillet radius or the difference in length of the band-shaped recess.

To ensure the metal shell of the connector socket interface be connected tightly with the insulator of the connector socket interface and easy to disassemble, in the present invention, protrusions are provided on both the upper side and lower side of the base at the coupling part of the insulator of the connector socket interface; said protrusions can be 4 in number, two on each side. The protrusions can be in a wedge shape. Lugs of the same number are provided correspondingly on the metal shell of the connector socket interface, and, when the metal shell of the connector socket interface is connected with the insulator of the connector socket interface, the lugs are blocked at the wedge-shaped protrusions respectively.

Hereunder the structure of the connector interface provided in an embodiment of the present invention is described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.
